Goats go sledding

In most of the country, the first robin means spring is just around the corner. In Georgia, the first robin seems to mean that snow is imminent. Last year I saw the first robin and it snowed 5 inches that day! This year I saw the first robin and we got 4 inches the next day.

Anyway, this is the first year we had goats when it snowed. They took a real interest in sledding.

What is this thing? It looks fun.

We should give it a try.

Can I take a turn Logan?

Whee! This is great.

More snow pictures in the days to come. The farm is beautiful in the snow.
